Amin. Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 Sheesh what is it with people and venice 3000+ lol! I would be darn amazed to get a cpu for 140 bucks, which actually dominates a 3800+ which costs the double amount of money, and HELL! Its on a box cooler! OMG lol thats just ridicilous Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chz Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 Its a venice, they don't scale well with voltage at all....you have probably reached the limit of your chip, and a damn nice chip it is running 2.8 with 1.45v. Mine has problems getting over 2650 Mine scales exactly with the voltage i feed to it, LDT and chipset voltage have no effect tho. 1.38v : 2050mhz max 1.45v : 2340mhz max 1.52v : 2565mhz max 1.59v : 2862mhz max (my current setting) After this i hit a wall tho, upping the fsb even one will give me a bluescreen when stresstesting, even if i pump 1.7v through it.

exscape Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 What's your temps? Mine got too hot at 1.42+ volts (~50C) which caused instabilities. I'm at 46C load @ 1.5 volts now. Running 1.472v @ 42-43 load 24/7. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
douirc Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 What's your temps? Mine got too hot at 1.42+ volts (~50C) which caused instabilities. I'm at 46C load @ 1.5 volts now. Running 1.472v @ 42-43 load 24/7. that's the most bizarre thing i've ever heard! lowering your voltage increased your temps? i'm averaging between 42-44C load when using prime95 or folding@home. I am using the boxed cooler, so i have been thinking about the TT Big Typhoon to knock down the temp a few extra points. I have a great 2200RPM 120mm antec fan that's really quiet...so was thinking to get the Typhoon to go with it (although everyone keeps raving about the xp-90). anyway, temps haven't been an issue...

GrossmeisterB Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 My 3000+ Venice runs 9x311 also, at 1.536Volts...I can go to 9x320, but it is not 100% prime stable ( crashes after ~8 hours), so I have it at 9x311 now, which is quite OK for me...my temps are 45°C max. under load with a room temp of about 25°C...

Oops, that wasn't very clear... The 50+ degrees was with the Zalman CNPS7700-AlCu. I got way lower temps with the big typhoon. Way quieter as well, I'm very impressed by thermaltake with this one.

garybig Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 yea i think that u are like most of us. at the limit of the on chip controllers im on water and more voltage doesnt seem to be the answer i can get into the vary low 3 gig area but as soon as i try testing it craps out. but at my sig no problem no errors Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orillian Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 I'm at 295fsb with my 3000+ And I know if I drop my memory devider I can go higher on the CPU. I'm reaching the limit for my ram ATM. I can hit 300fsb but I'm not prime stable at that point. Good to hear there are people pushing these chips further then this...means I might be able to push it higher yet! woot! O.

newguy Posted July 10, 2005 Posted July 10, 2005 You are sooo Lucky. for a 3000+ doing 2800MHz, I still struggling to get mine to get over 2650MHz. Anyone has any idea which BIOS works best for my config? Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
se7en.hu Posted July 10, 2005 Posted July 10, 2005 I have the same problem although it is a nice overclock, I cant get it over 2.8 on my 3000+ venice either I can boot in windows on 2.9 tried 3.0 it didnt even post although I got 0519 and some weird crappy little stepping so my voltages have to be high like 1.65V for 2.8 and 1.7 for 2.9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
douirc Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 ok...i'm back and i'm doing much better. i was dealing with a heat issue, so I decided to mod the chip (took the IHS off) and put on a Thermaltake Big Typhoon and now i'm really kicking butt! so far i'm running 2970 at 1.648V (1.500v + 113%), 29C idle and 38C load (with the case closed). i'm gonna do another burn-in and hopefully get the OC to what I really want...334*9 or 3.0GHz!!! I'll let you know how I do. if you're interested in popping your top and going naked, you can read how i did it here. good luck with your OC's!!!
